Clique Empregos

What Clique Empregos does

Clique Empregos is a Brazilian digital recruitment and selection (R&S) platform headquartered in Caxias do Sul that operates a dual-sided marketplace connecting job candidates with employers. The platform is free for candidates — who can register, search and apply for positions, and receive real-time job alerts through a dedicated iOS and Android mobile application — and is monetized on the employer side through a quote-based SaaS recruitment platform with demo-gated onboarding. Core products include the Clique Empregos Platform (web application at app.cliqueempregos.com.br), the Candidate Mobile App, and an AI Resume Screening module.

The platform's underlying technology centers on AI-powered candidate matching, automated résumé screening, structured candidate profile suggestions, automated multi-channel job posting distribution, automated candidate feedback, and video interview analysis covering body language, voice tone, and facial expressions. AI modalities include text and structured-data processing, with capabilities spanning recommendation engines, NLP, process automation, and anomaly/bias detection. An integration API is available for third-party connectivity, and the platform distributes jobs across partner channels including Google, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, DocuSign, and ESP.

The business model is a horizontal freemium-plus-SaaS approach: no revenue from the candidate side, while companies pay subscription/quote-based fees for access to recruitment tooling. The go-to-market combines self-serve onboarding for SMBs and individual candidates, direct sales with demo requests for enterprise accounts, and a partner program targeting HR consultants, freelance recruiters, and NGOs/associations. Marketing relies on content (blog), organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), SEO, job aggregator partnerships, and client testimonials. The company claims 100,000+ registered professionals, 200+ employer clients, 205+ active vacancies, and 3,000+ cumulative placements, with operations confined to Brazil.
